Those times, much like the wild buffalo and the American middle class, have disappeared. But Papa's Basement remembers, and tries to recapture their magic twice a week. Do we succeed? Well, why don't you listen and find out? Seriously. You just have to click a button and sit like a catatonic for a few minutes as the podcast plays. You're here because your ancestors avoided starvation by sprinting after mammoths for miles, hunting them using rocks tied to sticks, and you can't be bothered to move your fingers the two millimeters it will take to bring my voice to you out of the thin air?

http://www.inpapasbasement.com/get-hard-review-will-ferrell-kevin-hart/#commentsMon, 30 Mar 2015 21:58:09 +0000http://www.inpapasbasement.com/?p=12132Black people hate Will Ferrell like his birth name was Slavery Lynch’em. I have a friend named Rich who is, for lack of a better way of putting it, traditionally white in many of his mannerisms. He owns a Green Lantern shirt. His car contains Metallica CDs. He openly acknowledges OJ’s guilt. But bring up […]

Fact: Despite being approximately 4’6″, Kevin Hart has a titanic dick. This is actually true, and not me just making some crap up. So every time you think you’re better than him despite his wealth and fame because you could breastfeed him while standing up, remember he has the girth to clog a toilet.

Black people hate Will Ferrell like his birth name was Slavery Lynch’em. I have a friend named Rich who is, for lack of a better way of putting it, traditionally white in many of his mannerisms. He owns a Green Lantern shirt. His car contains Metallica CDs. He openly acknowledges OJ’s guilt. But bring up Will Ferrell and his genial smile fades, his head slowly shaking like he just heard a statue was being built in memory of James Earl Ray.

I’m not sure why such a racial divide exists when it comes to Mr. Ferrell, but it’s there. The Redskins will hoist the Lombardi Trophy once again before you hear a brother utter the words “scotchy scotch scotch.” Which is why I’m fascinated by Get Hard, a $40 million project to sell Will Ferrell to black people. Like one puts cheese around a pill to feed it to a pet, a studio decided that it was time to wrap the cheese of Kevin Hart around Mr. Ferrell and shove him down my buddy Rich’s throat. Why are studios taking the time to make black people like Will Ferrell? Who knows. Maybe a Talladega Nights sequel is in the works and they didn’t want to make a second movie that had as much appeal to the black community as the NHL playoffs.

The concept of the film is inane, even by comedic standards. From what I gather, Will Ferrell is going to prison and assumes that Kevin Hart, being black, has done time. Ferrell offers Hart a bunch of money to teach him how to survive prison, and Hart obliges because apparently this movie fights stereotypes by depicting a black guy duping a white guy out of his money via chicanery. Now, I’m no penologist, but I have watched my share of Oz reruns, and I think the only shot to surviving prison that a white guy has involves multiple Swastika tattoos and learning what “HH/88″ and “14 words” mean with a quickness. But I’m going to trust my gut and assume that the movie isn’t Kevin Hart teaching Will Ferrell about white power (as hilarious as that could have been.) So what goes on in this movie is beyond me.

Actually, it isn’t beyond me. I bet Will Ferrell learns a few lessons about “real life” from Kevin Hart, the audience is subjected to some wannabe heartfelt bullshit and, in the end, the unlikely duo becomes friends. Do yourself a favor and wait until this one is on HBO in a year so you can watch 15 minutes of it and then go back to reruns of M*A*S*H on Netflix. The one good thing I can say about this abortion is that it probably will bring together black and white people who go to the movies to view it together, though only for the amount of time it takes to burn a projector screen and 150 theater chairs to the ground.

I watched the first Hot Tub Time Machine in a theaters, and I’m not embarrassed to admit that (though I probably should be). As I recall, I was hanging out with a friend of mine and I randomly had one of those existential moments where the meaningless of existence is thrust upon you like the tip of a colonoscope and you’d rather watch footage of ISIS beheading your pets than be forced to think about it a second longer. 15 minutes later, we were plopped in front of HTTM and I was able to dodge my fear that I’ve squandered my brief time on this planet by definitively wasting an hour and a half of it.

As for what happened during the original Hot Tub Time Machine, I couldn’t have told you five seconds after I walked out of the theater. It was one of the most forgetful things I’ve ever viewed, and I sat through all eight seasons of Dexter. One can surmise there was time travel accessed via a hot tub, but that’s as helpful as me staring at the cover of Old Yeller, then telling you the movie is about something named Old Yeller, and it’s probably the dog because the only humans named “Old Yeller” are biracial, octogenarian Southern men.

Since the plot is obviously asinine and of zero consequence to the film’s enjoyment factor, and I doubt the script is going to get confused with that of My Dinner With Andre anytime soon, let’s talk about the cast. First, we have Craig Robinson. While I find Craig funny enough and enjoyed him both on The Office and Eastbound And Down, I’m willing to wager that you’ve never said to yourself, “You know what I need in my life? 90 minutes of that paunchy, piano playing bastard.” Of course, 20 minutes of anyone on-screen in a comedy and I’m thinking to myself, “Why am I not as famous as this talentless asshole and instead writing about him from my mother’s house, in which I live at age 33?,” so your mileage with the man may vary. There’s also Rob Corddry, who I was ambivalent about until I learned while typing this has an extra, confusing “d” in the middle of his last name for no reason, so fuck him. Oh, and don’t forget this guy. I don’t know his name, but I’m legitimately convinced he’s just this other guy whose name I don’t know in a wig and fake eyebrows.

All of this sounds like I’m lining up to drop a gargantuan deuce upon Hot Tub Time Machine 2, but I don’t judge comedy the same way I do a drama. As long as a comedy provided a few laughs, it got the job done, whereas a drama, unless it’s strongly compelling from start to finish, I’ll consider a failure. Maybe it’s because comedy needs only to intermittently provide its hallmark visceral thrill (in this case, laughs), much like a slasher film need only provide a few scares and pornography needs only arouse. No one wipes off and walks away from a porn clip they just jerked off to thinking, “Well, yes, I came. But did I have cum better?” Nope. It’s a binary. “Am I skulking off to flush semen-filled tissues and disgusted with myself? Yes? Success!”

So, while I’m guaranteeing you that HTTM2 is no classic, it will probably give you a laugh or two. And if it doesn’t, well, this is probably the wrong website for you, Eustance Tilley . Go play some polo and hunt your manservant for sport.

Dear women with bangs: No matter how pretty you are, you all look like the girl in kindergarten who couldn’t be trusted with scissors.

I will never understand the appeal of 50 Shades of Grey. Well, I will, but it saddens me to think that millions of suburban housewives across the country are right now donning their sleep masks, asking their bored husbands to give them a swat across their spread-out office drone asses and then running off to titter to their gal pals that they were just dominated and they loved it. While I haven’t read or seen 50 Shades of Grey, I guarantee you’ll learn as much about domination from it as Pirates of the Caribbean can teach you about historical piracy. And you want to know why all of this hits so near and dear to my enlarged, cholesterol-ravaged heart? Because I do love me some S&M.

Let me clarify that last part before moving forward: I’m not talking creepy, “bring out the Gimp” bondage. Just old fashioned hair pulling, spanking and rough banging (PS – women love it when you refer to sex using that word). With me being the dominant partner, by the way. If the girl’s in charge of you, that’s gayer than two guys inserting their cocks in your ass simultaneously and then pulling them in different directions to gape you à la the fingers in this kid’s mouth. Which is fine if that’s your bag, of course.

In all seriousness, that it’s some sort of revelation to much of the country that a lot of women enjoy being dominated shocks me. Did my generation learn nothing from Ludacris? If you aren’t smacking a woman’s ass harder than Patton striking the face of a cowardly soldier while screwing, what exactly are you doing? Maintaining unbroken eye contact as you slowly run your fingers through her hair and the strains of “No Ordinary Love” play in the background? Merely typing that made me softer than overcooked ramen.

Returning to 50 Shades of Grey, all I can say of its central premise is that it’s asinine. A college girl (and virgin, natch) named Ana Steele starts working for young, handsome billionaire Christian Grey, who gets her to sign a sexual non-disclosure contract before introducing her to his sex room, which I assume contains assorted bindings and blindfolds. I got bored and stopped reading the book’s Wikipedia page at this point, but I can only assume because this piece of shit has mass-market appeal that: 1. Things really never get that rough, with maybe some spanking and mild restraint and 2. Christian’s heart starts to melt due to the earnest feelings that Ana holds for him and he falls for her in a way he’s never fallen for any woman before.

Let’s begin my list of problems with everything listed in that previous paragraph. First, the names. Holy shit. Gay porn star Go-Go Harder has a name that’s less on the nose than those two. Also, a very attractive 21-year-old woman who’s still a virgin probably has horrible anxiety disorder or otherwise freaks out every time a guy hits on her. Meaning a pushy-as-shit boardroom titan is probably going to have less of a chance of deflowering her than some chatroom nerd. And for the record, no handsome, young billionaire is getting hung up on any woman. With loot and looks like that, he can have Kate Upton licking his asshole like it is the last piece of an ice cream cone and there is a little froyo still stuck at the bottom.

Odds are, however, that Christian Grey would be way more into being dominated than doing the dominating. I mean isn’t it always politicians, movie stars and other wealthy guys that are used to getting their way who are found to be paying some dominatrix to shove things in their ass and call them a slut while they have cigarettes put out on their nipples? So, while I could definitely see the guy making women sign a contract before playing around with him, it’s way more likely said contract would contain verbiage along the lines of, “please don’t tell anyone that I had you drop a deuce on my chiseled abs before queening me for an hour.”

The only good thing I can say about 50 Shades of Grey is you apparently see Dakota Johnson, daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, naked an utter fuck-ton, and who doesn’t enjoy nude Hollywood royalty? Plus, sleeping with her would be awesome because you could always say, “Hey, I hope you shaved down there this time: I don’t want it looking like your dad’s face circa Miami Vice again.” You’d probably get dumped immediately for that, but it would be worth it.

I don’t typically directly link to Papa’s Football Podcast on the main Papa’s Basement Show page. The whole point of making a separate show was to keep the football talk off of my regular podcast. (Whittling the already-paltry numbers of my listenership down even further was simply a lovely side-effect.) But the Super Bowl is a magnet of international viewership and if you don’t watch it in this country, you’re rightly labeled a freak, so I figured why not post the Super Bowl show over here, too.

If you like the episode, subscribe to it over on iTunes (and for God’s sake, give it a review after clicking that link) or visit pfpod.com to find every episode we’ve done thus far. Enjoy, and please tell your friends if you like the show. I shouldn’t have to tell you that (and the fact I did shows you my level of faith in this product), but do it anyway.

Another reason Seinfeld was evil: Making us want to plow Elaine even with her stupid Buster Brown shoes and ridiculous Andrews Sisters hair.

I love Seinfeld. That goes without saying. But it altered television in a way that television since (especially network comedy) hasn’t been able to recover from. Co-host Howard and I discuss what exactly I mean by that, why Roseanne was the last great American family sitcom and why it’s so, so creepy when women are in to men in uniform on the latest Papa’s Basement Show. Enjoy, share on Facebook and retweet. PLEASE, DAMN YOU!
